These catnip toys are plush kicker sticks: three soft, tail-shaped toys about 7.9 inches long, each filled with catnip and crinkle paper. Cats grab them with their front paws, bite, and rake with their back feet — the natural “bunny kick” they would otherwise practice on your hand, your ankles or the sofa cushions.
What it solves
- Rough play aimed at you. A kicker gives the grab-bite-kick sequence a proper target.
- Short attention spans. Catnip scent plus a crinkle sound keeps many cats engaged longer than a plain plush mouse.
- Toys that are too small to wrestle. At about 7.9 in, there is enough length to hold and kick.
- One toy that goes missing. Three in a set means one for each room — or one each in a multi-cat home.
How it works
- Take one kicker out and rub it between your hands to release the catnip scent.
- Toss it near your cat or drag it along the floor to trigger the pounce.
- Let your cat grab, bite and kick; the crinkle paper inside rewards every squeeze.
- Rotate the three toys every few days so each one feels new again.
Is it right for your cat?
A great fit if:
- Your cat grabs your arm and kicks with the back feet during play.
- Your cat responds to catnip (most adult cats do).
- You want a simple toy with no batteries or small plastic parts.
Look elsewhere if:
- Your cat is under about 6 months old — many kittens do not react to catnip yet.
- Your cat does not respond to catnip at all; an electronic toy like the Orbit Chaser is a better pick.
- Your cat shreds plush and swallows the pieces — supervise, and remove a toy once it tears.
Catnip kicker vs. small catnip mice
| Catnip kicker | Small catnip mouse | |
|---|---|---|
| Length | About 7.9 in | About 2–3 in |
| Play style | Grab, bite and bunny-kick | Bat and carry |
| Sound | Crinkle paper inside | Usually none |
| Best for | Cats that wrestle | Cats that chase and fetch |
Tips for more play
- Store the two spare kickers in a sealed bag or jar so the catnip scent lasts.
- Bring one out after dinner — a short hunt-and-kick session before bed helps settle indoor cats.
- Spot-clean only; soaking the toy washes out the catnip.
Catnip toys for indoor cats that play rough
Most catnip toys are small enough to bat under the couch. A cat kicker toy is built for the other half of play: holding on and kicking. For indoor cats with energy to burn, that full-body wrestle is one of the quickest ways to tire them out.

Questions cat parents ask
Using it
What is a catnip kicker toy?
It is a long, soft toy filled with catnip that a cat can hold with the front paws and kick with the back feet. These are about 7.9 inches long and also contain crinkle paper.
How many toys come in the set?
Three: one green, one peach and one grey.
Will my kitten like it?
Kittens can play with the soft plush, but many do not respond to catnip until around 6 months old.
Care
Can I wash the kickers?
Spot-clean with a damp cloth and air-dry. Soaking or machine-washing will wash out the catnip.
Is it safe if my cat bites it?
Biting and kicking is what it is made for. As with any plush toy, supervise play and take the toy away if the fabric tears.
Shipping & returns
When will it arrive?
It ships from our U.S. warehouse and typically arrives in 5–8 business days. On its own it is under $50, so shipping is a flat $4.95; orders over $50 ship free.
What if my cat ignores it?
